Who We Are

Maine Conservation Alliance is building a just, thriving future for all by acting on the climate crisis, protecting the environment, and safeguarding our democracy. We bring people and organizations together to educate, inspire, and advocate. Guided by our core commitments to the environment, democracy, equity, and collective impact we are working toward a future where Maine becomes a national model for how a rural state can take bold action to tackle the climate crisis while ensuring a fair and equitable economic transition for our communities. A future where we have identified systemic barriers to full participation in Maine’s clean energy economy and people in every corner of our state are benefiting from affordable clean energy both as consumers and for their livelihoods. A future where Maine is on track to meet or surpass the ambitious goals set out in its current Climate Action Plan. Our air, land, water, and wildlife have added protections and funding to conserve them. Our democracy is healthier, with more Mainers who have been systematically underrepresented voting regularly and running for office and new policies are in place that increase the integrity, resiliency, and efficiency of our voting systems. We envision a future where we have built and maintained broad political support for the ongoing structural and societal changes needed to address the threat of climate change, protect our environment, advance racial justice, and ensure an inclusive democracy.

What We Do

MCA has been protecting the environment in Maine, strengthening our democracy, and addressing the climate crisis since 2001. We are striving to create cleaner and healthier communities, informed and engaged voters, and a more just, equitable, and sustainable future for all. Together, we can keep up the momentum to meet the scale and urgency of the climate crisis and tackle Maine’s most pressing environmental challenges through our work: - Building, nurturing, and participating in powerful coalitions to create meaningful change together. - Listening to and partnering with communities most impacted by pollution and the effects of climate change. - Promoting environmental and climate solutions. - Advocating for systemic change through laws and policies and connecting people with decision makers.
